Cleaning the Feeder
Graphite powder or dust on the rollers inside the feeder or on the document feed scanning area may cause smudges to appear on printouts. If this occurs or if a paper jam occurs frequently, clean the feeder. If the problem persists after cleaning the feeder, perform automatic feeder cleaning.
Cleaning the Feeder

Turn off the machine and unplug it from the power outlet.

If the rollers and surrounding areas are very dirty, clean them out. To do this, wet a cloth with water and wring it out well, then wipe the dirty areas. Afterwards, wipe the areas with a soft and dry cloth.
